This month bring in items for ACTnow of Greater West Chester, which is an interfaith organization that helps individuals and families with immediate needs. Staff and volunteers work to stabilize households, encourage self-sustainability, and build community.  Please bring in full-size items of bar soap, toothpaste, deodorant (male/female/unisex) or Giant gift cards during the month of February and place them in the marked bins located in Café 10 West. 

9:00 & 10:30 am Sunday, February 15
After 10 years ministry at Westminster, Chris Clark departs from his role as Director of Youth & College Ministries to finish seminary. Come hear Chris preach his final sermon with us during both morning worship services on Sunday, February 15. Following the services, we will gather in Spellman Hall for a reception.

We invite you to recycle your old media. We’re collecting CDs, DVDs, cassette tapes, audiotapes & any plastic cases. Drop them in the designated bins in Café 10 West during February and help us give these items a second life. Recycling will be done by GreenDisk.

4:00 pm Sunday, February 22 • Sanctuary 
Celebrate Black History Month with Elevation, an all-professional, intentionally diverse vocal ensemble whose performances fuse traditional, classical choral music with jazz, Hip-Hop, R&B, storytelling, and spoken word.

This concert is inspirited from Gwendolyn Brooks’ searing poem, Boy Breaking Glass, about a young Black boy who breaks a window, not out of vandalism, but as an act of protest and creation. The shattered glass becomes his art, a demand to be seen and heard in a world that has erased him. Through music that spans genres and idioms, we ask: What might it mean to build a future from the fragments? To lift every voice—not in support of the status quo, but in pursuit of justice, belonging, and joy. Joining them for a closing set of gospel music are participants of the Come Sunday: Worship and Music That Moves Us workshop. Click here to buy tickets ($20/adult or $10/student).

9:00 & 10:30 am February 8 • Spellman Hall
After 13 years of service at Westminster, Gerry McShane retires from his position of Church Administrator. Help recognize and celebrate Gerry McShane at a reception following both services. 

Donate to our Souper Bowl of Caring offering on Super Bowl Sunday. This year the offering will go to the West Chester Food Cupboard. After both services on February 8, there will be youth standing in the Narthex with large soup pots to collect cash and checks (made out to “Westminster Presbyterian”). Our goal is to beat our previous year’s total and reach $5,000!
